Hi everyone. I have had really weird cycles lately and I think I'm ovulating on cd20-32 so ovulation tests are a must for me. I seem to be getting a LOT of nearly positives and then they will go again but today is CD21 and I think it's a positive. I just wanted some other opinions... This is so confusing Confused

Yes I agree that it is sheer luck to be honest. The last 10 months or so I have never ovulated (according to opks) before cycle day 16, it's always been between 16-25! This is the one month I got a positive at cycle day 12 and we very luckily had done the deed 2 days before that day and only the day of the positive ovulation test! I really do feel like I didn't time it as well this month as I have other months, but it worked! So your right it is sheer luck in a lot of ways!

I love opks! They have never been wrong for me, and as I just don't have the time or the patience to temp it's perfect. I honestly know I wouldn't have gotten pregnant with my youngest if I hadn't taken them.

What do you do for work? Work is such a unnecessary stress when your TTC! I don't know about you but it just seems like everyone is pregnant at work also when your TTC! I nearly handed my notice in yesterday. My manager gave me a 'slap on the wrist' about something which I don't feel was my fault at all, but I'm trying to keep calm because I need my job unfortunately Sad

Yes I went to the GP on Wednesday and they have referred me so I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before I hear back from the hospital or midwife. She did say she would send me in for an early scan, I hope I don't have to wait too long!

It must be close for you to start taking opks now? Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for a positive, because that 2ww takes long enough! Fx for this month! Lucky number 8!!! 😊 X

Date night sounds lovely! Sorry I've been absent for a bit...work has gone crazy and that's an understatement. Nearly lost my job/resigned this week. Could really do without the stress!

How did the GP go? Did they refer you for a scan?

Plan of action...well it'll only be cycle 3 of opk's so I will be sticking to those. I don't really have a plan to be honest. I do think a lot of it is down to sheer luck with just getting the timing right. So I'll just be relying on the opk's. Prob will start dtd a few days before I roughly expect to ovulate. According to the opk's I ovulated later than I thought I would last time though, by 3 days. So don't want to start too early because it's hard to maintain the pace!

Princessnthepea86 · 28/06/2016 00:48

I have just got back from a rare date night! Went to the cinema and scared the crap out of myself watching the conjuring 2!! Shock it was scary!!!

Well I'm going to tell them what has happened and I'm hoping they will send me for an early scan but I doubt they will if the bleeding has stopped and my lines are getting darker. I have been on a babybond website and booked an early scan for 25th July.... I have paid a £30 deposit and it's £99 in total but if the hospital will give me an early scan then I will cancel that appointment and get my deposit refunded. If all else fails then I have that appointment.

I have to admit it was a relief to see it in words. Although I still have no symptoms at all. My boobs don't hurt and I haven't even got my usual symptom of peeing all the time. I just want to know that everything is ok, but I'm sure everybody feels like that before their first scan!

Have you made a plan of action next month? Are you still going to use opks? I don't want to leave this thread until I see you get a BFP!! Smile xx

The line looks even darker! They might send you for an early scan, is that what you are hoping for? Must be amazing to see it in writing that you are pregnant!

Princessnthepea86 · 27/06/2016 09:47

So I didn't have anymore tests for yesterday so couldn't test but I ran to the pharmacy this morning for another first response and digital to see what is going on! I have totally stopped bleeding but still getting bad cramps. Here is what happened! I'm excited!! Going to the doctors tomorrow :)

Princessnthepea86 · 25/06/2016 11:15

Ya, I only have one more test left so in going to wait it out and see what Monday brings. The bleeding does seem to have stopped now but the cramping is just insane! All very weird. I'm going to test Monday morning and if it's darker still then I will go to the doctors to both get the process rolling and to explain what's happening.

Oh no! I get like that if I drink spirits but I seem to be ok with wine. Well I won't be having any drinks this weekend either so I will join you in ice cream eating haha! ChocolateCake

Hope you have a lovely weekend. I will update you when I know anything either way xx

OP posts:
LillyBugg · 25/06/2016 07:27

Yes it is a darker line today isn't it? I wish I had some magic advice for you but I guess you're just going to have to see how it goes. Maybe test again in a few days and see what's happened then. I bet that feels like a lifetime away at the moment though.

I did actually have a glass of wine last night and then remembered why I don't drink. It gives me the shivers and an upset stomach. Every time. And yet every 6 months or so I think it'll be ok and have a drink. It's never ok! I'll have to go and drown my sorrows in a bucket of ice cream or something lol.

Princessnthepea86 · 25/06/2016 07:18

I'm sorry AF came! Like you say, at least it's the weekend, help yourself to a Wine or a bottle!! Haha. Fx for month 8!! Xx

Princessnthepea86 · 25/06/2016 07:15

I have been awake since 5! Had such a bad night sleep just worrying about what is going on. I took another test at 5am and I'm totally confused now because I'm still bleeding dark red blood and I have the worst cramps ever (really bad period cramps) but my test is even darker today! If I had no cramps or bleeding I would say that it's a good progression line. Totally confused and upset right now. If something was going to happen I just want it to be over with now so I can get on and try again! 😣

Oh I'm sorry princess :( that does sound like a chemical. Might take a while for the test to go back to negative I guess? Those cramps sound awful, it's not normally like that is it? I hope you managed to get some sleep.

I'm definitely out this month, woke up to AF. Which is bang on 14 days after I think I ovulated. So whilst it's a longer cycle than normal, it does seem to be on time. I don't feel too upset. Just disappointed. Again. I'm glad it's the weekend and I'm at home. I always find it harder when I'm at work. On to cycle 8.

Looks like we'll be keeping each other company a little while longer.

I hope you're ok Sad

Princessnthepea86 · 24/06/2016 22:30

Sooooo.... I have been getting an awful sharp pain in my right side today. It's been so so bad, even when I coughed I would double over in pain and I knew something was up and I was right because I have started to bleed tonight :( so annoyed. Not a full on flow but enough to know its not spotting. Boo. I think maybe it was a chemical?! I don't know but I did another test this afternoon and it was a positive again. Oh well. Onto month 12 I guess. I will take another test in the morning to see what's going on but my feeling is that it will be negative... Also my cramps right now are unreal. I'm upset but to be honest after 11 months it felt too good to be true. 😣

OP posts:
Princessnthepea86 · 24/06/2016 12:16

I should be able to hide it until then because I'm 5'9 and have a long torso, so my bump does not show very much until I get about half way through my pregnancy. The only difficult part is going to be my sickness. I suffer from HG when pregnant, my last baby I had to be signed off work my whole pregnancy. I vomit about 8 times before I leave to take the kids to school in the morning, I lose lots and lots of weight when pregnant. I'm still excited (for now anyway)! Lol. I have got another twin pack of first response today and will take one each morning. I might not even get a digital to be honest for the reason you have just said. Might be super obvious in a couple of days anyway.

It's so frustrating when your on the tww and you spot and stop constantly.... As if it's not bad enough. It's like a roller coaster isn't it? I still have everything firmly crossed for you!! 😃

OP posts:
LillyBugg · 24/06/2016 11:44

Well I feel very honoured to know such important news :) even though realistically I have absolutely no idea who you are lol! Will you be able to hide it up to 16 weeks? I can imagine you would have quite a bump by then!

Good idea to keep testing, it'll be nice to see that line getting darker to. I've never done a digital, when I had DS the frer was so clearly positive there was no need. I bet it's nice to see it in writing.

Still absolutely nothing here, every time I go to the loo it's like mental torture!

Princessnthepea86 · 24/06/2016 09:30

Thank you!! I'm so excited to! Keep dancing around the house like a fool haha. I really started to think that it wasn't going to happen for me again and thought I had pcos! Thank goodness for ovulation tests with my weird cycles I doubt I would have done it the right time! I'm terrible at keeping news to myself but I have promised this time I am not saying anything to anyone until I know the gender at 16 weeks. Your the only person other than my husband I will be telling Shock

I am going to go out and buy 2 more first responses and 1 digital and take them over the next couple of days to make sure it's all progressing and once it has then I'm going to make a doctors appointment! Smile

I hope you are still going to get a late bfp! You should take a test of still nothing by tomorrow. Let me know! Xx

OP posts:
LillyBugg · 24/06/2016 08:33

Omg princess I can actually see that this morning!!!! WOW!! I'm crossing everything for you that it sticks. I'm ridiculously excited for you lol.

Still no af for me...a little spotting which has now stopped. Cramping. Didn't test this morning. Likely to come on today I think.

But still eeeeeeek for you!!

Princessnthepea86 · 24/06/2016 07:39

Ok so I did another test this morning and I'm pretty convinced I got my BFP!!! I'm still trying to keep grounded as I'm only 10dpo and it's still very faint BUT it's pink and it was there at the 2 min mark. The pictures are crap but in q couple days I'm going to get some more a a digital just to confirm and show my husband because he just never believes me until he sees the word! Lol. I'm cramping like crazy though today so I really hope this sticks!!! Anxiously checking for blood every time I pee already 😬

Haha yes I am exactly the same! I know where the lines should be so its really difficult. Also I think frer's aren't as good as they used to be! A few years ago I wouldn't see anything on a negative test and nowadays it really seems like there is always a slight line! I have no idea what to think. I'm more inclined to think I'm not, which is ok because I'm only 9dpo anyway so I expected it and still have some hope... Sort of. I am def cramping tonight and I have broken out in spots all around my nose (attractive) so something has got to give within the next 2 days.

With my first 3 I got pregnant pretty much straight away each time and my son was a 'one occasion' type thing but my youngest i got pregnant on the 8th month and this time it has taken even longer. I hear that up to a year is very normal for a healthy couple trying, but it doesn't fell it does it? A year seems like forever when your actually trying! Haha.

If I take a test in the morning I will let you know. Have a good evening xx

OP posts:
LillyBugg · 23/06/2016 20:04

I find it so hard to judge pictures! I read a post yesterday from someone who said that she was so used to looking at FRER's that she knows where the line should be so her mind plays tricks on her. I kind of feel like that.

I wouldn't bother testing again tomorrow as it won't have been very long. Hold off until Saturday! 11 months is a long time, we have only been trying for 6 but because my cycles are so short the next one will be attempt 8.

I hope this is it! Maybe just hold off on the wine just in case?!

Princessnthepea86 · 23/06/2016 19:47

Yea it sounds like it probably is your AF starting :( well I finally took one at 7pm when it got delivered (managed to hold my pee for 5 hours)!!!!! Anyway I wish I had not taken it now because I hid it for the 3 mins and looked at it straight away and I swear I saw the tiniest faintest line ever!!!!! As usual the phone wouldn't get a picture of it but I will download the pictures I took. Ugh.... Now I can't have a glass of wine tonight just in case and I'm probably bloody not and its my eyes playing tricks on me. I'm not sure if there is any point in testing in the morning again because the progression line wouldn't really be any darker even if I am would it? I'm not sure I can help myself though!! Looks like pharmacy tomorrow morning for me haha!! Tell me what you think? I hope this is it.... 11 months has felt like a lifetime!

Ha ha I have images of hopping around looking out the front windows for the postie lol.

I've had the tiniest amount of spotting today now so I really think AF will be here by tomorrow. It's highly unlikely to be an IB. We haven't dtd for two weeks now so would be really late. Just want it to be here now so I can crack on with the next cycle!

Keep me updated Smile

Princessnthepea86 · 23/06/2016 13:48

Yay that's great news and it's good that you found out that your vitamin D deficient now and not later!

When I was trying for my youngest daughter I got pregnant on month 8 so I hope it's your lucky month to (well I hope it's still going to be this month but you know what I mean).

Well my free didn't turn up with the regular postman which I assumed it was going to but I got it through Amazon prime so I know it will be here today... But it could come all the way up until 10pm.... Grrrr. Been holding my pee all morning for nothing now. Going to just have to just go for a wee and then hold it again for as long as I can (this could be a long day) haha. Thank you I will be sure to post back my most likely negative result Smile

OP posts:
LillyBugg · 23/06/2016 13:13

It's so addictive testing even when you are convinced that it will be negative lol! I think I'm just going to stick with the IC's because the frer's are so expensive!

I will try and be hopeful but then don't want to be disappointed either.

Bloods were mostly normal. Showed I am vitamin D deficient which wouldn't impact on conception but would be bad news for a pregnancy so I am going onto a high dose of supplements. It could also explain why I am so tired all of the time. If it helps with tiredness then that would be great, it's ridiculous how much I can sleep. Everything else was normal though, which is good because it means I'm healthy but then doesn't explain why I'm not bloody pregnant yet!! Humph.

Fingers crossed for your frer when it arrives :)

Princessnthepea86 · 23/06/2016 12:08

Oh no! Boo. That's rubbish im sorry! With my son I tested everyday and didn't get a positive until 14dpo. I don't want to get your hopes up though because I know how I feel when I cling on to everyday! I have been using my IC tests and as I thought they are all BFN, but I have ran out of them now. My first response tests are due to be delivered by the mailman any moment now! I'm 9dpo and going to test today when they get here (stupid because I know it will be negative) and then my second test I will wait until Saturday. My LP is only usually 10 days so if I'm not pregnant I would expect to start spotting tomorrow anyway. You would think I would just wait it out for 2 more days but I'm just itching to test! Your not totally out though until AF shows! The egg can implant as late as 12dpo so test again on Saturday to know for sure. Good luck with your blood test results, keep me updated if you get chance. I will let you know how I get on with my first response, but I don't hold out much hope because I have zero symptoms! Xx

OP posts:
LillyBugg · 23/06/2016 07:38

Well 13dpo and still no bfp! I have been testing even though I said I wouldn't lol. Got my blood results today, will see what they say. I kind of feel the result would be showing now if I was. Ah well. Might be lucky cycle number 8.

Princessnthepea86 · 20/06/2016 19:26

Boo! I'm sorry, it's still early though and totally still possible to get a bfp! My husband don't know I test early either. He thinks I'm way to obsessed with and and waste to much money. I do try to explain that I'm not the only woman out there was has a pee on a stick addiction but he still thinks I am!

Looks like we will both be testing on Saturday then! I'm 6dpo today and not really feeling much of anything to be honest,,, boobs aren't hurting. I'm doing the same as last month and buying my first response test online on Thursday night so it will be here on Friday/Saturday so I'm not tempted to test early! Please let month 11 be the lucky month!!! FX

To be honest his ED isn't as bad as some (I guess it might get worse with time? According to info I have read anyway). I just have to try and spice it up a lot more than the average person I guess HAHA and try to refrain telling him when I'm ovulating because pressure obviously does not help at all. Sad.

Anyway I always makes my posts an essay! If I don't speak to you before Saturday I will tell you how I get on! I might do a cheap internet test on Thursday/Friday and if by some miracle I get something I will post back. Xx
